What pay is tito the broken heart
ed father of drink murdered son,
If blood-guilty rum should pour an
ocean of revenue gold into the lap
Of the State?
When we arilhmetiae the visible
ruin of rum, the sum is appalling;
but the mind staggers when attempt
ing to grasp the Invisible hurt it does
humanity.
The money revenue doctrine of the
saloon means that human souls are
so plentiful and cheap that business
men are fools to value them above
cobble- stones.
What kind of a Christian civili2a-
tion is this, which with one hand
rears up young men and with the
other provides and protects the
means of their dsbauch?
Kansas, with 100000 NOR. popu-
lation than Texas, has one pcniten-
tiary with 996 prisoners, while Tex
as has two large prisons with 1900
convicts. Hurrah for prohibition in
Kansas.
Latest from Governor Martin, of
Kansas, says: "The good results

If the loss of even one sonl could

be too bankrupt to pay that sum,
much less compensate the soul ruin
of one hundred thousand rum. slain

Boynton's Reply to Colonel Fred Grant.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13-In regard TO the
letter Of Colonel f. D. Grant of February
s TO Major W. c. Carroll, of Baltimore,
General BoyntOn says:
Colonel Grant seems to forget the publication
Of the letters OF General Rawlins and other
facts related thereto was in reply to an attack
upon the gentleman connected with the Com.
Sl6rCidI Gazette, initiated and conducted by
those who assumed TO be the friends of Gen.
eral Grant, and that 1t was carried on by them
with much bitterness for year and half He
fergets that il was based upon a private let
ter Of Mr. Halstead's, written during the war,
conveying to a Cabinet officer some very start
ling facts in regard to the habits of the com.
manding General on the Mississippi which il
was proper to communicate, and most impor.
tant to have privately known. lie seems also
to forget that these published letters of General
Rawlins, admitted to be correct in the very let
ter which he now condemns, fully establish the
correctness Of the essential facts thus privately
made known to Mr.. Chase at the time when
there was ample reason TO fear that they might
put in peril the safety of the army.
SO long as the newspaper assaults were on
one side, and one side only was dealing in
stolen private letters, and treating them in the
discussion as il the author had opened public
attack upon the memory Of General Grant, the
contest seemed 10 aHOfu general anu
prolonged amusement to all concerned
in carrying it on, but since those
attacks have turned upon the field with
the conclusive evidence of the Rawlins letters
upon the main points Of the controversy there
has been much to say Of assaults on dead
heroes and OF assnssins Of character The dis
cussion is not pleasant one but from the first
1t has been forced by those who assume to be
the friends OF General Grant, II has now
reached q stage where 1t rests with them TO say
whether it shall go on until the sorrowful array
of details, but partially outlined by the Rawlins
letters, become part Of the upquestioned his
tory of the war. There are countless homes OF
mourning in the land in which, in view Of the
revelations OF those letters, the question will
inevitably arise whether the death shadow did
not fall upon them because Of orders which
should not have been given, or plumbers which
a clear head would not have made. There is
something due 10 these heroes and to those
who gave them to the country. The least OF
all which the country owes them is that war
history shall be truthfully written.
